“The PMA leadership, by failing to exercise command responsibility,
rendered itself complicit in this mockery of justice.” This was the
statement of CHR Chair Loretta Ann Rosales during the press conference
on Wednesday who is not convinced of PMA’s decision of not issuing
Cudia’s diploma. The issue here is Cudia’s alleged lying and being
unable to arrive at the right time in one of his classes. He was late
for two minutes and he needed to explain why.

Cudia defended his side saying that the reason why he was late for 2 minutes is because his instructor dismissed them late that became the reason for his being late. He added that his instructor, Monique Costales told him to wait for the section grade. AFP Chief of Emmanuel Bautista gave an order to PMA to open again the investigation for the case and this happened when the institution asked for the removal of his name from the cadet corps roll to the AFP.
